The advent of home computing has revolutionised photography for consumers. Digital photos give us the means to correct flaws in images and share them online. Older photos can be scanned and fixed, reviving precious images from the past so future generations can enjoy them. And with digital video now a standard feature of many cameras and phones, our memories no longer need to be captured in still frames.
